This is information that you provide to us and the amount of Personally Identifiable Information that you choose to disclose to us is completely up to you. For specific programs, special giveaways or surveys that we conduct, we may at times ask you to submit information such as your name or email address, or to share your interests or opinions with us. The type of information may include:

You can always choose whether or not to disclose Personally Identifiable Information and that choice will not, in general, prevent you from using this website. However, if you should choose to withhold requested information, you may not be able to participate in special promotions or other activities offered by CCD or CPDC.

The Center City District (CCD), Central Philadelphia Development Corporation (CPDC) and Center City District Foundation (CCDF) work together to enhance the vitality and competitiveness of Philadelphia's downtown. In 1991 the business leadership organization CPDC created the CCD business improvement district to deliver daily services with the goal of making Center City clean and safe. This helped transform Center City into a vibrant 24-hour downtown, attractive to businesses, residents, students, shoppers and tourists. In addition, the CCD is responsible for the management of Dilworth, Sister Cities, John F. Collins and Cret Parks, four extraordinary public spaces in the heart of Center City. CCDF, the charitable affiliate of the CCD, was launched in 2016 to support the next generation of public space improvements in Center City Philadelphia.
